On Thin Ice by Max Hudson

Harry isn’t really the kind of lawyer they need up here in this remote small town. He’s up here to settle the affairs of his late father’s law firm and to keep his young niece from going any further down the road to juvenile delinquency. Bone Creek is not Harry’s kind of town, and it doesn’t get any more appealing when he learns that his family name is connected to a local murder mystery. Harry doesn’t take it too seriously, but the more time he spends learning about his father’s legacy, the more he wants to return to the safety of suburbia.
There’s just one problem. He can’t seem to stay out of the company of the handsome and eccentric young man who owns the bar. Harry isn’t gay, but Dave Hasselbeck has a magnetic personality that turns Harry’s initial suspicion into a strange, intense friendship.
Before long, the friendship turns physical. Harry starts to question who he is and what he wants from Dave, as Dave realizes he’s never felt this way about another man.
Meanwhile, Harry has to start dealing with problems he’s inherited from his father. Between local bikers and the hot-tempered head of a local ranching family, Harry starts to realize there was much more to his father’s legacy than he thought. Things really start to get interesting when he learns that his niece has been investigating the local legends about the murder of his father’s business partner.
As Harry manages his difficult clients and tries to untangle the web of dodgy dealings his father left behind, his feelings for Dave grow more intense. Will his family legacy keep him from admitting his feelings for Dave? Or is their relationship doomed to wither before spring can return to the high desert?
